The First Ten Kindle Edition

4.8 out of 5 stars 9 ratings

From Jamie Mathieson, award winning screenwriter of Doctor Who (Oxygen, Flatline, Mummy On The Orient Express) come ten stories of suspense, science fiction and fear.

As a doomed plane plummets to the ground, one of the passengers reflects upon her life, only now spotting jarring inconsistencies…

On a dying Earth, a child finds a derelict supermarket with a breathtaking secret that could save her life, or take it…

Within a crashed UFO scientists discover the monstrous corpse of an alien, with huge footprints leading into the woods…

Often unsettling, sometimes darkly funny and always surprising, these stories demonstrate why the author is lauded as the one of the great discoveries of modern Doctor Who.

Praise for the author:

Doctor Who might have just found its new Steven Moffat. His name is Jamie Mathieson’

- PASTE Magazine

- The Guardian

Flatline” combines its horror and humor as effectively as Doctor Who has ever done, all wrapped up in a thrilling adventure.”

- New York Magazine

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great set of well-written stories
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 2, 2024
    Had only heard of the author through his website and Dr Who works, but there's some great reading, characterisation and twists in here - even if some are obvious a mile away - but in 9/10 tales here you'll enjoy the journey as much as the ending.

    Look forward to the second ten.

    I enjoyed them all and read a couple aloud with my partner. Highly recommended.
